And I saw one in particular growing through the asphalt in an alley behind my house.  And it really led me to think, well, what allows dandelions to really grow everywhere?<br \/>\nAnd so I did a lot research and I found that it\u2019s actually a fungi that allows that and enables them to grow almost anywhere.  Back then when I was 15, my research started out with extracting this fungi from dandelions roots and applying it to soybean plants so that you could  then apply it to a method of phyto-remediation.  So plant based remediation in the tailings pond.<br \/>\nAnd from there it went into developing a method that ended up being oyster mushrooms.  So using the fungi on its own.  <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWith help from Syncrude and Alberta Innovates, Kelcie conducted her research in her parents\u2019 basement.  And her discovery breaks down tailings in three weeks.\n <\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nThanks today to <b>Syncrude.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nLearn more at InnovationAnthology.com<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nI\u2019M CHERYL CROUCHER <\/b>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.syncrude.com\">Syncrude<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/SyncrudeLogo.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02013-06-18<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Winner in the Youth category at the 2013 <b>Emerald Awards for Environmental Excellence<\/b> is <b>Kelcie Miller-Anderson.<\/b>   At the age of 15, this young scientist from Calgary discovered a novel way to clean up<b> oil sands tailings ponds<\/b>.
